The Dredge Tank
The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.
This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.
The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
How do you detach yourself from reality like this?
The last time Americans experienced war was in 1865. Sure, we've had our Oklahoma City Bombings, Pearl Harbors, and 9/11, but actual, genuine warfare? No American in living memory has been on the receiving end of having foreigners take over their house as a shelter before torching it the next day. Or had to watch their family members get gunned down during a shootout between two militaries.
It's been completely abstracted. Americans are incapable of putting themselves in the shoes of civilians in other countries. The violence and chaos is only theoretical.
To Americans War is something that they do to other people overseas and watch on TV. War is a one-sided affair where America imposes it's will on the Other and brings them to heel. War isn't their communities being bombed and their friends, family, and neighbors being murdered, it's shots of jets being launched from carriers, bombs going off in a Bad City, and occasionally a flag draped casket being loaded onto a plane so they can say "See! Our brave troops are being killed, we have to glass Bad City!".
accept every premise you're fed by people you've been raised to trust as "the people who tell you what's happening in the world"
Because if they did it to my family the victims would be white Americans
